Hemiciclo a Benito Juarez

Mexico City, Mexico

In Mexico city the historical center and Chapultepec Forest are connected by Juarez and Reforma avenues, you can take a walk finding multiple historical monuments, like the Palace of Fine arts, big monuments to revolution and fallen heroes. While walking you ran into the "cilindreros" (cylinder players) playing Harmonipan Music boxes with traditional mexican music. Originally from Germany, they were brought to Mexico as a present to president Porfirio Diaz, they became very popular in carnivals and their production stopped after WW2. Meaning that the ones you find on the streets these days are really valued antiques. #LifeAtExpeda#VisitMexico
